Jimmy Somerville - A Dream Gone Wrong Lyrics

How high a mountain must I climb
To reach for air
To breath the air so clear, so pure
Could blow my mind

In my mind there is a place
For everyone, for every taste
But in this life reality can shoot you dead
For the color of your face

We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
(But it's our love that stops us crying)

We can't change the fact, we are born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
(But keep on reaching, don't stop trying)

I've seen a poison river flow
A land where nothing grows
I've watched the men of fascist mind
Kill in the name of love

The futile war, the human crime
The sacred scream just biding time
And who are we to take in vain
This precious world, I'm full of shame

We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
(But it's our love that stops us crying)

We can't change the fact, we are born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
(Keep on reaching, don't stop trying)

If the dream's gone wrong
Let your heart be strong
If the dream's gone wrong
Don't let hope fade away

And who are we to take in vain
This precious world, I'm full of shame

We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
('Cause it's our love that stops us crying, crying)

We can't change the fact, we are born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
(Keep on reaching, don't stop trying, no, no, no, no)

We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
(But it's our love that stops us crying)

We can't change the fact, we are born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
(But keep on reaching, don't stop trying, no)

We can't run and hide as hard as we try
(As hard as we try)
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
(It's our love that stops us crying)

We can't change the fact, we are born to die
([Incomprehensible])
We can't all profess to know how or why
(Don't stop trying)

We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
(Don't stop, don't stop reaching, don't stop trying)

([Incomprehensible])
We can't change the fact, we are born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
(Don't let the [Incomprehensible])
